Quora Atheists TM will insist that the New Atheist movement is just atheists “finally standing up for themselves” but every time they hear someone mention anything to do with religion they’re all “SPOOPERSTITION! MAKE-BELIEBE! HAHAHAHA YOU ARE DUMB FOR EVEN MENTIONING RELIGION! UNGA BUNGA CAVEMAN! I AM VERY INTELLIGENT!”
I wish I was making it up, but I genuinely see that kind of response over and over whenever there’s a question on Quora that even mentions religion, and I am barely exaggerating
There’s a question about w*ndigoag and 90% of the answers call the belief “another laughable superstition” and go out of their way to mock the idea that saying the name might be a bad thing
Any time someone asks about the Torah or the Old Testament, it’s basically guaranteed that the answers will be full of people talking about “bronze age superstitions”
I once answered a question about religion, making it clear that I’m an atheist while trying my best to answer the question respectfully, and I literally got a comment in all caps, talking about how religion is fake and was invented by cavemen, and featuring the phrase “unga bunga”
You’re not “standing up for yourself” you’re going out of your way to be a dick
Huh, the more ya learn !
I’m just wondering if Judeo Christian would be an accurate term for the two religion’s view on gender conformity. I checked Deuteronomy 22:5 with both the Christian 21st century KJV version and the Jewish Contemporary Torah (2006) version and they both say the same thing.
I’m asking due to recent events and if you don’t want to answer that’s entirely understandable.
Judeo-Christian isn’t an accurate label for anything except people trying to pretend they 1) aren’t Islamophobic and 2) know something about religion. It’s mostly used by supercessionists trying to go “look, it’s not because I’m Christian, the Jews think that too!” while the Jews stand on the sidelines going “…..you think we think what now?”
Incidentally, Judaism has eight genders.

Like imagine crying on the couch and you hear his thunderous, big body SUV built ass footsteps approach you.
"Baby, what's wrong," he says tenderly as he rubs your shoulder.
You look up to explain how bad your day was with tears in your eyes and you fucking see this:
I made a small drabble based on this
This is just my conjecture but regarding the Red Crescent isn’t it possible that RC staff just… aren’t able to resist Hamas forcing them to smuggle weapons even if they said no? Considering that I’d imagine RC workers don’t have any combat skills or weapons and Hamas personel are… well yknow., it wouldn’t be surprising if they’re just scared into / forced into doing it
Not saying it’s great but I’m just saying I kinda don’t blame them if they’re forced or pressured, when the people forcing you have insane hyper-extreme beliefs i wouldn’t blame them
so a thing i think people don't always get:
spammers lie.
if you get spam, they are lying. yes, really.
if you get spam from someone claiming they were vetted, the conclusion you should reach is not "ahh, this one is legitimate", it is "oh, the entity vetting them is part of the grift".
i know it sounds horrifying to imagine someone so unthinkably depraved that they would say a false thing on the internet, but i have to say, it's... actually pretty normal.
always remember that fake proof is a central component of scamming people who are careful enough to check, but not careful enough to think about whether the way they're checking is actually meaningful.
How many mass graves and extinct cultures are needed to convince Christian apologists that missionaries and missionizing are inherently xenophobic?
The answer is apparently always, "At least one more."
